error message PHP7

[Kraxell]

Hey,

i installed a plugin and got an error when i load the site:

ParseError: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in ..../includes/init.php(357) : eval()'d code on line 22

if (!defined('VB_AREA') AND !defined('THIS_SCRIPT'))
{
echo 'VB_AREA and THIS_SCRIPT must be defined to continue';
exit;
}

if (isset($_REQUEST['GLOBALS']) OR isset($_FILES['GLOBALS']))
{
echo 'Request tainting attempted.';
exit;
}

@ini_set('pcre.backtrack_limit', -1);

Any idea how to solve it?


exit;
is line 22.

Edit the file/plugin and change:

=& new

to

= new

[Kraxell]

There isn't such a code :(

[snakes1100]

init.php

edit, didnt mean to paste the 357 reference in the response.

[Kraxell]

// $new_datastore_fetch does not require single quotes
$new_datastore_fetch = $datastore_fetch = array();

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('init_startup')) ? eval($hook) : false;

if (!empty($datastore_fetch))
{

Line 357 would be
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('init_startup')) ? eval($hook) : false;

[snakes1100]

remove all instances of =& new

=& new

to

= new

in any vbulletin files as you havent bothered to update your vbulletin.

[Kraxell]

Nope, it doesnt help :(

what version of vb are you running?

i installed a plugin and got an error when i load the site:

Which plugin?

[Kraxell]

Plugin is vbet (vbulletin enterprise translator). Iam using vb 4.2.5.

[shka]

Sure vbet is your problem? Other plugins all disabled for test?

yes. The site works fine until i install vbet.

What version of PHP are you running? VB 4.2.5 will work with and up to PHP 7.1 (might limp along under PHP 7.2 with warnings turned off). Mods are completely hit and miss. Remember the majority were written when PHP 5.x was the norm. vBet is clearly the issue and you will need to work with a PHP developer (you do not need a Vbulletin developer) to look at your PHP log file and recode the lines that have issues. It really should not be too difficult...
